i have to say that I expected some more resistance from Leverkusen. Now I still went with a draw in the German Bundesliga prediction pool, but to be honest Leverkusen didn't deserve it. It was such a one-sided game. The passes completed. Sure against Bayern in the Allianz Arena, you can never expect to be on eye-level with them in terms of ball possession, but this is quite a bit too passive for Leverkusen. I know that they prefer to play counter attacks in these games against teams that love ball possession, but they are still Leverkusen and can maintain the ball within their own lines and play smart passes between the lines. This looks more like they used any opportunity to hoof the ball out of their own half of the pitch. That's very uncommon for them and they can be pretty happy about that one point.

In a difficult place, with a less impressive game, Leverkusen was still able to bring home 1 point. In my opinion, it was a strategy to dampen Bayern Munich attack line which was in top form. True, at first glance Leverkusen looked like they were playing to get a draw at the Allianz Arena, and they managed to do so. For Kompany, failing to get full points was a loss, because they should have been able to take advantage of the home game better. In the future, Kompany must try to experiment, so that his squad is able to create more creativity when facing a team that has a solid defense. The two goals scored in the match were very interesting, in my opinion it was truly sensational.

Leverkusen does not have a solid defense, they conceded 10 goals in 5 games and when we look at the 5 games we realize that they conceded a goal in each game, so this is not a solid defense. What happened in the game against Bayern is that they were lucky that Bayern did not have a more effective attack. But this result is not bad for Bayern who are still at the top of the table, even if they are only 3 points ahead, what Bayern need is to keep winning games and have a good defense, because Leverkusen can lose points in the following games because they are not as strong as last season.

It was a very tough game for both teams, Leverkusen did came with lots of pressure knowing fully that any slacking will be used against them and lose all three points. The result came out in a very good sense, both teams had to share points instead of giving the other 3 points to nothing and this has kept Munich as the lead and brought Leverkusen to the third position on the table.

knowing that the next opponents of both teams will be weak opponents, so we will see both teams in these positions for a few rounds. For me the most important thing is that Bayern remains at the top and becomes champions this season

As a home team, Bayern Munich didn't relent in making sure they are able to hold their visitor Leverkusen to a draw but in the other hand, Leverkusen tried so well to keep Munich drawing against them meanwhile it felt like Munich were going to win due to the pressure they exerted from their end. After all kompany wasn't a bad coach,he's almost beating expectations,many before now taught he was going to struggle against Leverkusen been their biggest German rival after having probably easy opponents all the while, it's been a good season for kompany and Munich so far.

Bayer Leverkusen last season was undoubtedly the best team in the German Bundesliga but considering how improved Bayern Munich have been since the start of the new season, I wasn't expecting Xabi Alonso's men to get a result against the current league leaders but the reigning champions was able to defile all odds by delivering a resisting performance that saw them leave Allianz Arena with a draw. For anyone who's actually written off Bayer Leverkusen from retaining the league title this season, I think this result will give them a reason to reevaluate.

It was a loss without any doubt for Bayern and let's be clear, sometimes the defending team needs some luck to get through those tough games. But then again I sometimes think that apart from the good defense, it is the inability of the attacking team to score a good number of goals on that specific day. From the point of view of Bayern, this is concerning because it is not the first time that they run into trouble some time during the season when they suddenly can't convert their chances into goals as efficiently anymore. Now is this the beginning of such a period of time?

it is not the time for talking doom and gloom yet, but especially against the strongest opponents it is important to set an example because now they scored all these goals against Zagreb, Bremen and Kiel, but none of these goals is indicative of Bayern being able to play as efficiently against the real heavy weights. Nobody is surprised that they can destroy an opponent like Zagreb, but can they be a monster against the strongest? They couldn't be against Leverkusen for the time being.

The match between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen was full of drama and tension. From the very first minutes, both teams showed determination with dangerous attacks and solid defense. The home team had a hard time against Leverkusen's dense and organized defense. Leverkusen not only focused on defense but also created dangerous counter-attacks. Despite constantly putting pressure with shots, Bayern Munich still had to share the score with Bayer Leverkusen. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, a somewhat unfortunate result for Bayern Munich as they had 19 shots, while Leverkusen only had 3 shots throughout the match.

This is a very balanced match, even the goals they scored were not far apart in time. Even though Leverkusen could score first, but after that, Bayern Munich immediately gave a goal that equalized the score to 1 - 1. And until the end, they were equally strong to be able to withstand attacks from each opponent. They are both strong in offense and defense. And each coach admitted it, This is a satisfying match.

Yep this is unfortunate for Bayern Munich, they're struggle to beat Leverkusen in their home, it means they might not become a champion in this season. It's quite surprising to see Leipzig looks stronger in this season, they only conceded 2 goals from 5 matches.

Bayern Munich play with full of emotions, that's why they have many chance, but only score one goal.

If Bayern Munich didn't win this season, it's clear Harry Kane's curse is real.

No no my friend, don't judge someone when a team can't work optimally, what is clear is that they have a strong balance and now the Bundesliga is getting fiercer with new appearances from each side, what is clear is that Munich must accept that there is improvement and be more effective in the fight, not only Munich and Dortmund and now the presence of Xabi changes our perspective that the Bundesliga is developing, this draw is clearly a failure for Munich players who cannot take advantage of so many advantages and from the strategy I think Kompany is more effective but yes here they only get a draw.

I don't think it's fair to use Kane's name as a curse, and I think Munich will give him a trophy and now they are still in the main position and I think they will fight for this to the maximum, Kane's contribution to Munich is also seen from how many goals he has contributed so this is not a curse.

You are right, This match was dramatic from the start. But I will say that in this match I saw the results as I expected. I expected the match to be a draw. And the match was drawn 1-1.

This season Bayern Munich team is stronger than Leverkusen and also in better form. And Xabi Alonso understands this well. And that's why Xabi Alonso took a risk against Bayern Munich. Leverkusen's players played defensively from the start of the match. On the other hand, Bayern Munich naturally played attacking strategy. However, against the defenders of Leverkusen, the players of Munich cannot do much. As a result, the match was drawn 1-1.

[tusandii]

The big match between the Bayer duo ended up only drawing 1-1 just like last season when Bayern Munich hosted Leverkusen they couldn't beat their opponents who performed consistently so overall Leverkusen's performance is actually still the same as last season they will give Bayern Munich fierce competition in the title race this season and so far they have also only experienced one defeat against Leipzig so I think it's just a coincidence so I think this time Xabi Alonso will make his men appear more focused so as not to lose opportunities and Bayern Munich will not run smoothly to be able to get the Bundesliga title.

Bayern Munich who usually always have a goal party, were now having difficulties because of Leverkusen defense which played very neatly. They instead conceded first in the 31st minute through Robert Andrich long-range shot, but it didn't take long to equalize, Aleksandar Pavlovic managed to make the score 1-1 again in the 39th minute. Munich tried to increase the intensity of their attacks in the second half, but none of their efforts were successful because the opponent's defense was very difficult to penetrate. A fair result for both teams, at least Kompany has proven his quality as a reliable manager and is worthy of handling a club as big as Munich.

That's indeed, Bayern Munich's draw against Leverkusen feels like a loss to me. It's a frustrating result. We had a good game. We pressed them with 70% possession. We created many chances but could not capitalize on them.

We definitely should’ve won it. And compared to how we played against them last season, we were exponentially better. Our improvement forced them to park the bus for basically 90 minutes; it shows how good we are.

We forced them to play a dirty and awful game. We're getting back our old winner mentality.

Previously I thought that it was likely or even should be Bayern Munich ended the match by getting full points at least a win with a narrow advantage because after all they were playing at home in this match, although on the other hand I also understand that this is not an easy opponent for Kompany even though they are playing at home, and I think maybe that is what makes both teams play very carefully, not because they don't want to act aggressively to create opportunities but the risk is too great if it turns out that the opportunity fails to be executed.

But on the other hand I also thought before that there was another possibility that both teams would end the match with a draw, and sure enough, for a team that strong they certainly won't be reckless in every decision they make, but I think this result is fairer for both teams. Oh yes, even though many people are waiting for this match to at least find out who is stronger, but it turns out that the results of the match were not able to answer it, in general it is too early to conclude who is stronger when the new season starts

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

A team will be stronger if the team is filled with the best players and also trained by the best coach who has more useful tactics for the team. Because when a team that cannot develop well in a certain season, while the players are also not too bad, then the thing that must be seen is the coach. So we can conclude that Kompany still has a pretty good way of coaching so far, it's just that in the previous season he was not in a more appropriate team, namely Burnley so what is seen now when he has coached Bayern Munich is certainly very different from when he coached Burnley.

That has not been proven 100% because the previous season Bayern Munich was also filled with quality players but they failed in the Bundesliga and the coach also determines the direction of a team to be better to achieve the desired title. The match against Leverkusen is a little picture that can be seen where Kompany managed to do his job well even though the match ended in a draw. The reason is because Leverkusen is still coached by the same person so they can be much more solid, while Bayern Munich is coached by a new coach so that in a crucial match like that they have not fully adapted well.

Kompany can be a great coach at Bayern Munich as long as he can see opportunities like other coaches because now he is in a team that has quality players so it is not difficult for him to develop the potential of the existing players. It is just a matter of how he can find the right strategy and the quality of the players he has can be developed through the methods he has.

If we look at the statistics of the match, we can all see how Leverkusen was crushed. Leverkusen had only three shots in 90 minutes and scored one goal. If we look at the ball possession rate, they only had a ball possession rate of 30%, which is usually seen in second-class teams. I expected them to compete head-to-head with Bayern Munich. This match showed that Bayer Leverkusen will not be the champion this year. Bayern Munich will not leave any team alone on the way to the championship with this game. In fact, I think Bayern Munich will declare its championship a few weeks before the end of the league.

After all kompany wasn't a bad coach,he's almost beating expectations,many before now taught he was going to struggle against Leverkusen been their biggest German rival after having probably easy opponents all the while, it's been a good season for kompany and Munich so far.

Bayer Leverkusen have been extremely incredible this season, though they're no longer unbeaten after their shocking defeats to RB Leipzig, then I know Xabi Alonso game strategy have weaknesses and it's been mainly spotted out by their visitors. Bayer Leverkusen are still in the title race this season because winning comes first and we totally understand the long competitive run for these clubs. On the other hand, Bayern Munich drawing points with the visitors at Allianz Arena definitely mean something for Vicent Kompany, does it? I would say this season have been a smooth run for Vincent Kompany as Bavarians headcoach, many thought he will slacked back when it comes to performances and taking the major managerial role in AllianzArena, what happen to him currently?

Bayern Munich will win the Bundesliga, that's my thoughts and view, they just have to maintain the competitive consistent run in the Bundesliga. As for the coach, he's not relenting, a very busy man towards elevating the club to his standards and we all have watch the rapid improvement of the club when it comes to performance against oppositions. All Vincent Kompany needs is more time to make sure he's coping with the current system though it's main challenge for him, why is he here if not for overcoming these challenges?

Yesterday's prediction results

Leipzig vs Augsburg (over 3.5) 4-0 (Correct)
Wolfsburg vs Stuttgart (BTTS) 2-2 (Correct)
Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen (Munich win) 1-1 (Lost)

Holstein Kiel vs Frankfurt (Frankfurt win) (Correct)

Would you believe me if I said that Leverkusen's defense is very strong? That is the reason why Munich struggled to defeat Leverkusen, even though they were playing at home, as Alonso was aware of Munich's weaknesses. This has become one of the tough tasks for Kompany to figure out how to beat Leverkusen. Meanwhile, I previously mentioned that this match would determine who is the strongest and worthy of leading the bundesliga. And if the result is a tie, the competition will surely continue.

I think there is no gap for Bayern Munich because Leverkusen's defense line played quite well in this match, making it difficult for Bayern Munich to penetrate it even though Bayern Munich controlled this game quite well.

I think this draw is also quite fair for both teams apart from Bayern Munich who controlled the ball position more and Bayern Munich who played at home, but it must be admitted that Leverkusen is still a strong team this season and Kompany has also done his best so there is nothing lacking for this match, overall I see Bayern Munich still playing well even though they failed to get 3 points.
